I saw part of this video and I can very easily imagine that it would allow narcissists to seek out people they can exploit. It's also annoying to other people. Excessive "people pleasing" can come across as desperate or annoying.
They totally do. It's sad that there are people like that, but it's true. Narcissists 100% go hunting for autistics to develop that sense of power they need to have.
I wouldn't say that it's specific to autistic people, but narcissists go looking to anyone who has qualities that they can exploit. This includes autistic people who cope by being narcissists and exploiting other people who they see as lesser then them.
My wife has a creepy uncle who probably has autism and is in denial about it and he copes by being extremely judgmental and constantly puts other autistic people down. My sister was diagnosed with autism before transitioning and he would constantly make fun of her for being a virgin before she transitioned.
